Pediatric Portal Hypertension Interventions: Ectopic Varices, Portal Vein Recanalization, Portosystemic Shunt Creation, and Maintenance of Surgical Shunts.
Review in Seminars in interventional radiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Management of portal hypertension (PHTN) in pediatric patients presents challenges due to the smaller anatomy and a lack of standardized protocols. While evidence for endovascular management of ectopic varices, maintenance of surgical shunts, portal venous recanalization, and percutaneous portosystemic shunt creation in children grows, adaptation requires specialized techniques and equipment. This review explores the etiologies of pediatric PHTN, including Budd-Chiari syndrome, congenital anomalies, extrahepatic portal vein obstruction, and transplant vascular occlusions, and examines radiologic interventions to address these conditions. Management strategies are divided into relieving the primary cause of PHTN at the level of portal obstruction and managing the secondary effects of PHTN. For each category, the discussion focuses on device selection, postprocedural care, imaging surveillance, and management of pediatric scenarios.
